The lust for gold and the reading of a will brings eleven visitors to a remote island retreat, but an unseen, seemingly unstoppable evil follows to stalk them one by one.

Not as awful as I expected!

Was it really worth the effort?

Shelved in 1975, and subsequently forgotten about, the only surviving print of The Intruder lay undiscovered for several decades until Harry Guerro, the owner of Garagehouse Pictures, found it in a storage facility in the Mojave desert and saw fit to release it on DVD. He needn't have bothered. Yet another film inspired by Agatha Christie's classic novel Ten Little Indians, this 'proto-slasher' features a group of unlikable strangers travelling to an island to try and secure their share of a fortune in gold, only to be bumped off one-by-one by an unseen killer. The deaths are dull (the film is virtually goreless), but nowhere near as insufferable as the stuff inbetween: inept attempts at intrigue, boring dialogue, and what must be one of the worst fight scenes ever committed to celluloid, both incompetent combatants eventually falling to their death, impaled on the same pitchfork!Fans of Yvonne De Carlo and Mickey Rooney will also feel shortchanged: despite prominent billing, neither has much to do in this mess of a movie - Rooney drives a boat and De Carlo only has a couple of lines.
